A walk through the OmniEnergy module in the order you actually use it: connecting a meter, configuring SEUs and EnPIs, comparing periods, scheduling and exporting the report to PDF. Along the way we explain why the system records who entered every manual value, leaves incomplete snapshots off the charts and refuses to compare periods of different length — because that is what decides whether your data survives an ISO 50001 audit.

TypeSafe has released Jev — a model that writes no text at all and instead returns typed decisions with calibrated probability. The cost of a single judgment drops below the price of a few tokens, and latency from seconds to milliseconds. We look at what this actually changes in an MES: where such a model belongs on the shop floor, where it must never be used, and how to wire it in without breaking your audit trail.

From 18 February 2027 the product passport becomes mandatory for industrial batteries above 2 kWh, EV and LMT batteries. A passport cannot be assembled from a spreadsheet after the fact — it needs product genealogy captured by the MES while the goods are being made. Here is which data has to be linked, which standards now govern it (EN 18219, EN 18220), and what a mid-sized factory can realistically finish in five months.

Multiprojekt (the maker of OmniMES) and Relpol S.A. are launching a joint offering: certified Relpol RMM energy meters combined with the OmniMES system and the OmniEnergy module compliant with ISO 50001. One hardware vendor, one software vendor, one invoice, one point of technical support — instead of three separate integration projects.

From 18 February 2027 every LMT battery, every industrial battery above 2 kWh and every EV battery placed on the EU market must have a battery passport (Article 77 of Regulation 2023/1542). Based on the European Commission guidance of August 2026 we explain which data points are mandatory from February, which are not yet filled in (carbon footprint, recycled content, due diligence), what the Battery Pass, Volvo and GBA pilots showed, and what data your MES should prepare.

Black Hat USA 2026 and DEF CON 34 brought three threads that matter to manufacturers: the inside story of the December 2025 attack on Poland's energy sector and a manufacturing company (lateral movement into OT through a private APN), weaknesses in industrial protocols and engineering software (CC-Link IE TSN, OPC UA, open62541, Siemens S7), and vulnerabilities in local AI runtimes. We cover what was actually presented and propose a 30-day action list.

The 2 August 2026 date did not start enforcement of high-risk AI obligations. The Digital Omnibus (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744) moved them to 2 December 2027 for Annex III systems and to 2 August 2028 for Annex I. What a factory running an MES must comply with today (the workplace emotion-recognition ban, transparency duties, GDPR and DPIAs for operator monitoring), who supervises the AI Act in Poland, and how to use the time until December 2027.

OmniMES exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint — a bridge through which any AI assistant talks directly to your production system. We walk through, step by step, how to go from an empty system to a finished dashboard using a fictional WOODCRAFT furniture plant as an example — with no UI and not a single line of SQL.

For 50 years an industrial robot learned a single task through teach-pendant trajectory programming. In 2024–2026 three open foundation models for robotic manipulation arrived — Pi-Zero from Physical Intelligence, OpenVLA from Stanford and GR00T N1.5 from NVIDIA — promising to end that era. The operator shows the robot what to do in VR/AR through 5–10 demonstrations, and a generic model translates that into a real-time trajectory. This article walks through how it actually works today, where it is enough, where it is not, and the real implications for MES integrators across the EU.

TimescaleDB handles time-series from the last 1–90 days (hot) excellently, but at 5+ years of history the cost of PostgreSQL SSD and RAM grows faster than the business value. Apache Iceberg (a table format for the data lake) plus DuckDB (a local SQL engine) deliver a cheaper warm tier (90–730 days) and cold tier (>2 years) on S3 or MinIO. A 3-tier architecture cuts storage cost by 80–95% while keeping data queryable. This article shows how to build it for MES, where the limits are, what it costs, and how to migrate from a monolithic TimescaleDB.

The CBAM definitive period started on 1 January 2026, and 1 August 2026 is the deadline for the first periodic report under the new regime. European companies in steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity — whether importing into the EU or exporting to carbon-aware markets — need to start computing embedded emissions per tonne of product. This article walks through what data MES + EMS must produce, how to map it to PCF (ISO 14067), which tools actually work, what it costs and what the penalties are. Plus a six-week roadmap to the deadline.

OmniMES uses TimescaleDB — the PostgreSQL extension with hypertables, native compression and continuous aggregates — as its database for industrial sensor time-series. The architecture handles 200 million readings per day, delivers 95% storage compression and 200–800 ms aggregations. This article walks through the hypertables concept, the OmniMES stack architecture, continuous aggregates and concrete production numbers.

Jensen Huang's Computex 2026 keynote (2 June) ran three hours and focused on industry — robotics, AI factories, digital twins. AMD and Intel countered the same day. From an MES perspective, five announcements actually change the technology map for 2027: GR00T N1.5 (robot foundation model), Cosmos 2.0 (world model for synthetic training data), the new Omniverse Replicator, AMD Ryzen AI Max+ as a Jetson alternative, and Intel Gaudi 3 for edge inference. This piece walks through each from a real deployment-pipeline perspective, not marketing.

The Polish amendment to the National Cybersecurity Act (KSC2), transposing the EU NIS2 Directive, enters real enforcement in the second half of 2026. Factories producing chemicals, food, machinery, automotive, electronics or medical devices — if they employ more than 50 people — are classified as "important entities" and fall under the full obligations package. This article walks through the ten Article 21 NIS2 requirements from an MES perspective: which functions already produce compliance evidence, what is missing, how every external API (OpenAI, cloud LLM, SaaS MES) grows your audit surface, and what to do concretely in the remaining months of 2026.

Two years after the first pretrained transformers for time series — TimesFM from Google, Chronos-Bolt from Amazon, Moirai-MoE from Salesforce — we finally have real answers to the question of whether a custom XGBoost pipeline for failure prediction in MES can be replaced by a zero-shot foundation model. This article walks through it without hype: what these models were trained on, the quality they deliver on real compressor sensor data, latencies on Jetson Orin and on a GPU server, when zero-shot is enough, and when fine-tuning is unavoidable — and what this means for the classic six-month ML project in a factory.

On 18 February 2027 the battery passport becomes mandatory for EV batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh, and LMT batteries — the first concrete moment when the Digital Product Passport (DPP) turns from EU concept into a hard production requirement. For an MES, this means exposing roughly seventeen attributes per unit: material origin, carbon footprint, recycled content, batch ID, durability, cell health data. This article walks through ESPR (2024/1781) and the Battery Regulation (2023/1542) without fluff: which MES functions already produce the data, what is missing, how to wire it up architecturally with GS1 Digital Link, and what to do in the nine months left before the deadline.
